TECH TIPMinimum size threads are, by default, listed in this catalog to 'fine pitch inserts.' Please keep this in mind when picking an Advent Tool; especially for your I.D. thread form. Too large a cutter diameter relative to the minor diameter of your thread form will have adverse effects on every aspect of your thread/form milling operation(s). For example, a #125-TA-78-F3 tool loaded with 12 pitch inserts has a cutter diameter of 0.970". The same tool loaded with 8 pitch (or even tapered form inserts) has a cutter diameter of 1.100"! In cases like these, with your minor diameter in mind, you may opt to choose a smaller diameter Advent Tool: But by all means contact us or your local representative for guidance!
